Connecting MP3 player to Eclipse CD8053

I'm thinking about getting an MP3 player, non-iPod, and I was wondering what I would need to connect it to my Eclipse CD8053. I know it has an AUX in, but not exactly sure what wire I would need without taking it out.

Also, any suggestions on an MP3 player?

Hey, i have a similar head unit (the previous model in the cd800 series) all you need is an rca to mini-plug (female) lead. I ran the wire from the head deck through to inside the cup holder for a clean look- great spot for an mp3 player too. I got an iriver IHP-140, battery life and sound quality both top notch. I'd stay away from ipod, very overated.
